The Cloudy Bay vineyards are located in the Marlborough region, at the northern end of New Zealand's South Island. Grown under ideal conditions, the vines produce intensely flavoured fruit with distinctive varietal character.
This is a complex, medium bodied wine with savoury flavours and a ripe supple palate.

Quality is our obsession, our hallmark, and our promise. We know making exceptional wines takes acute attention to detail in all aspects of wine production. In the vineyards, our yields are around 30% lower than the regional average. In the winery, we use technology, taste and experience to select only the best grapes for each wine. It might mean fewer bottles, but it always means better wine. Beyond the quality of our wines, we care most about protecting this place we call home. Cloudy Bay is a founding member of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. In Central Otago, our vineyards are farmed organically. Selected Estate blocks in Marlborough are trialing organic practices to roll out across the remaining vineyards.

Our Pinot Noir comes from the cool clay soils and rolling, north-facing slopes of Marlborough's Southern Valleys region. The aged alluvial gravels and dense clay subsoils balance drainage and water availability to yield the region's best Pinot Noir grapes. The key vineyards for this variety are Mustang, Delta, and Barracks.

The wine is very aromatic, displaying a powerful bouquet of classic Pinot Noir.

The Pinot Noir fruit was sorted using our optical sorter, before being gravity-fed into the open-topped fermentation tanks. The skins were gently plunged, with an average of 21 days' skin contact, and then 100% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation
